Galatasaray capture Kewell

4 July 2008-SBS

Turkish champions Galatasaray have confirmed the signing of Socceroos star and former Liverpool winger Harry Kewell on a three-year deal.

Kewell, 29, was available on a free transfer after not being offered a new contract at Anfield after five injury hit seasons.

Portsmouth had been linked with a bid to sign the winger as well as Italian giants Roma.

The former Leeds United man had been quiet over the rumours linking him with a move to the Eternal City when asked about the issue following last months World Cup qualifying loss to China in Sydney.

However, Kewell has opted for a move to Turkey, with Galatasaray confirming the signing on their website http://www.galatasaray.org/.

The winger played against Galatasaray in the UEFA Cup semi-final in 2000 for Leeds where he was sent off.

Liverpool also faced the Turkish giants in the 2006/2007 group stages of the Champions League, but Kewell missed both games.
